Lifestyle Medicine

Using life itself as a therapeutic intervention is an extremely empowering process! The key to health is focusing on creating a sound foundation through optimizing the most basic habits of eating, breathing, drinking, thinking, and relating with oneself and loved ones. By addressing these most fundamental elements of life we build strength and resilience that carries us gracefully and joyfully through life.

Nutritional Therapy

Food IS medicine! While Drs. Benjamin and Susanna will never tell you what to eat, or what not to eat, you will be supported in choosing nourishing and healing foods based on your own internal wisdom. Diet plans needn't be confusing, difficult, rigid, or boring! We believe you deserve tailored nutrition, based on your unique life and health. At Alter Health, we know vitamins and minerals should always come from food. Therefore, nutritional supplements are intended to supplement a healthy diet!

Mind-Body Medicine

In a world where information and stimulation floods through our body, it becomes more and more challenging, yet increasingly critical, to nourish ourselves with a mindfulness practice. As we anchor ourselves in a state of peace, we are able to navigate throughout the world using stressful stimuli as reminders to relax. Cultivating peace in the body is a very powerful and effective way to support healing on all levels.

Botanical Medicine

Some of the most powerful medicines on the planet come from plants. In fact, the vast majority of pharmaceuticals today were modeled after the effects observed from herbal preparations. Drs. Benjamin and Susanna love supporting patients in incorporating gentle herbs on a daily basis in the kitchen, as well as specific herbal extracts to support your unique healing process.

Homeopathy

The art and science of homeopathy is gentle, elegant, yet powerful. The goal of a homeopath is to know how you and your body respond to life physically, mentally, and emotionally. By gathering the entire set of symptoms that are unique to you, the homeopath synthesizes a holistic understanding of who you are, matching your essence with a remedy that supports and optimizes your overall functioning.
